âAll right, I understand. Iâll be prepared.â Feng Lingâs voice was patient and gentle on the phone.
After hanging up, Feng Ling remained standing in the same place. The large office was empty, as though only her own breathing could be heard.
Then her two cell phones kept ringing, announcing the beginning of the tug-of-war between Feng Mingyi and her.
Feng Ling turned her body slightly. Her long eyelashes fluttered with her movements and she picked up the phone expressionlessly.
âCEO Feng, the relevant personnel in charge of the financial investment department are all clamoring to see you.â The assistantâs voice came from the other side of the phone, accompanied by noisy chatter.
Feng Lingâs expression was cold. âLet them in.â
In less than five minutes, more than ten heads of the relevant departments walked into the office. They looked at each other but didnât know who spoke first.
âThe financing in Washington is probably difficult, and the contract has already been canceled. The Feng Corporationâs stocks have been falling non-stop. Our old partners have also been under f*cking pressure. They called to inform us that the contract wonât be renewed after the contract is over.â One of the managers said with a frown, âCEO Feng, youâve only taken over the company for less than a year, and now youâve encountered such a big obstacle on your first trip to the Financial Conference. Do you have any good plans? You canât let so many of us stay here to accompany you.â
âRight now, itâs just a rumor. As for those partners, the Feng Corporation doesnât plan to continue cooperating with them. We havenât received the important funding that can be used on yet. Are these small bits and pieces of pressure enough to make you lose your footing?â Feng Ling asked coldly.
Initially, the managers thought that she must have been flustered because of this situation. However, after hearing the news, they saw that she didnât seem to panic at all. From the moment she heard the news to the present situation, she had been slowly applying pressure on them. Everyone thought that Feng Ling wouldnât have any ideas, but now it seemed that although the issue would become bigger and bigger like a snowball, this snowball was clearly not much of a threat to Feng Ling.
It was not the first day they had followed her. They could tell from her expression that she was calm.
âBut right now, the calls of those old customers are all hinting at us... hinting that we might...â
âI know. Donât worry about it. Just do what weâve arranged for you to do in Washington. You donât have to be affected. I know what Iâm doing. All of you can go out.â Feng Ling didnât say much but just threw these words at them.
âCEO Feng, weâve met Feng Mingyi before. Heâs a very cunning person. You canât go head to head with him...â One of the managers hesitated for a moment before saying,â Besides, he has a lot of tricks up his sleeves. Itâs not necessarily all open and aboveboard. â
Feng Ling did not speak. She stared at the manager with her pure black eyes and did not speak for a long time.
...
At a nightclub in Washington.
The wine glasses clinked and the color of the wine filled the sky.
A certain financial magnate sat on the sofa in a luxurious private room, smiling as he exchanged toasts with Feng Mingyi. He put down the glass and wiped his mouth. âWhatâs the name of the person in charge of the Feng Corporation? I remember that she is the second daughter of the Feng family, isnât she?â
âYes.â Feng Mingyi raised his eyebrows, but his tone was mild. âHer name is Feng Ling. She wandered outside when she was young and must have suffered a lot. When she grew up, she was recognized as a member of the Feng family, but she didnât receive any good education. CEO E, you donât have to take her seriously. In the business world, this kind of girl with very little experience is not worth mentioning. She is not a threat at all. She can be easily suppressed.â
CEO E played with the wine glass, his eyes shining. âWhatâs there to suppress a little girl in her twenties? Iâm more interested in her.â
Feng Ming raised his brows. âOh? CEO E has taken a fancy to her?â
âWhen I went to New York for work a few months ago, I met her by chance. She probably didnât notice me, but I think sheâs a cold-faced beauty.â CEO E narrowed his eyes. âAt that time, several security guards bullied her assistant. When I turned back, I saw her beat up those security guards. Iâve never seen such an expression on a woman.â
Feng Ming snorted. âI checked her past. She seemed to have stayed in a military base for several years. She does have some skills.â
âIâve been in the business circle for so many years, but Iâve never seen such a woman. I really want to taste her.â CEO E rubbed his chin as he spoke, and at the same time, he raised his glass to Feng Mingyi with an unkind smile. âBut recently, someone has been putting a lot of pressure on Washington. It seems like she has someone backing her up. Iâm not too sure about the details. Anyway, itâs not easy to target her. Mingyi, if you want me to help you hold down this bit of money, shouldnât you give me some benefits?â
âWhat does CEO E mean?â Feng Mingyi smiled profoundly.
CEO E also smiled. âI heard that Mingyi, in this circle, youâre famous for not giving gifts but only beautiful women. As long as itâs a woman that your partner likes, you can almost think of ways to send her to the other partyâs bed. Then take a look at this second daughter of the Feng family...ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYouâre making things difficult for me.â Feng Mingyi raised his eyebrows. âEveryone in the circle knows that I was the godson of the Feng family. No matter what, this Second Miss is my godsister. I canât give her away.â
âHahahaha, godsister, godsister, youâre not blood-related. You havenât contacted the Feng family for several years. Now youâre trying to pull this godsister down with your own hands. Why do you care?â CEO E smiled. âThis kind of cold-faced beauty, I think sheâs still a virgin. After all, no one can get close to her. If you like her, you have to do it as soon as possible. Otherwise, if she stays in the business circle for a few more years, who knows how many hands she will have.â
âBesides, since you have the Feng familyâs relationship with her, you can coax her no matter what. When the time comes, think of a way to send her to me. That way, sheâll be more obedient, donât you think so?â CEO E said as he winked at him.
Feng Ming curled his lips and played with the wine glass in his hand. âItâs not impossible. It depends on whether your sincerity is worthy of me taking such a risk.â
âThe biggest funding channel this time is in my hands, at least one billion yuan,â CEO E said confidently. âAs long as I donât release this sum of money, her trip to Washington will be in vain. Is my one billion yuan worth it?â
âOkay, deal.â
